The Turning Point

I just want to put this out there because, honestly, it feels like an achievement - one I canā€™t really keep to myself. My highest recorded weight was 98kg, and when I saw that number, I was shocked. I knew if I didnā€™t act soon, Iā€™d hit 100+, and that idea alone was diabolical. I couldnā€™t let it happen.

At first, I tried some random diet plans and managed to drop to 96kg, but it didnā€™t feel like real progress. Thatā€™s when I told myself, nah, time to lock in for real. That moment - 1 year and 4 months ago - was the real start of my fat-loss journey.

Where I Am Now

Fast forward to today, and Iā€™ve hit my lowest recorded weight: 73.95kg.

Iā€™m not shredded like those fitness influencers you see online. I still have fat, Iā€™m not in peak aesthetic shape, but Iā€™m in the best shape of my life compared to every past version of me. Thatā€™s what truly matters to me - progress over perfection.

Iā€™ve learned that the only person you should compare yourself to is the you from yesterday. Did you grow? Did you get better? If yes, then thatā€™s a win.

The Journey

The journey wasnā€™t easy. In the beginning, it felt like a chore - tracking food, pushing myself to move more, and being mindful about what I ate. But somewhere along the way, I got the hang of it. Once it became a habit, it stopped feeling like punishment and started feeling like progress.

Now, Iā€™d actually call it an interesting journey rather than a hard one. I might not drop much lower from here and will probably maintain around 80kg eventually, but hey, thoughts change šŸ¤£.

What Iā€™ve Learned

  • Small, consistent actions beat occasional extremes.
  • Donā€™t compare your Chapter 1 to someone elseā€™s Chapter 10.
  • Progress doesnā€™t have to be dramatic - just consistent.
  • The goal isnā€™t to be perfect, itā€™s to be better.

Final Thoughts

Thanks for reading. I know itā€™s not very Deba-like to post something like this, and yeah, some might call it cringe or self-glazing, but honestly, idc. This journey means a lot to me, and I just wanted to put it out there šŸ›

If youā€™re on your own journey - donā€™t rush it. Donā€™t compare. Just keep showing up and do better than you did yesterday.
